This 'definitive edition' box set has
been out for a couple of months now, but it's still worth a review.
Originally released in 1977, LAMF was plagued by sound issues; had
the endless mixing of the songs turned the sound to mud, or was the
problem in the mastering of the vinyl? Well listening to the
different mixes and the cleaned up original release that are spread
across the four discs in this collection, it would appear that the
mixing was fine, cos there are some really good versions of all the
old familiar songs, that sound timeless; cos brilliant Rock'n'Roll
never dies. The disc of demos, includes stuff from
the original line-up with Richard Hell on Bass, and a session from
the definitive (Thunders/Lure/Rath/Nolan) line up, which has a couple
of tunes that never made it on to LAMF on it.

Yes some of this stuff is available on
other Jungle Releases; The Lost 77 mixes, Vintage 77, and the DTK box
set, so for the newbie it's not a bargain, but for the Thunders
junkie/aficionado it's a must have fix.

It all comes beautifully packaged with
a great little booklet that covers the time The 'breakers spent in
London recording, mixing and hanging out. Plus four badges to tell
the world you're: Born To Lose/Loose Like A Mutha Fucker ! Like I
said not a bargain, but well worth the £17.99 + P&P from Jungle Records.
But I wouldn't pay £25 from my local HMV shop..... no wonder they
went bust! Much respect to record labels like Jungle, Easy Action, Captain Oi and Damaged Goods for keeping the spirit alive.

Welcome to the 24hr Apocalypse news
feed, where people eat at the table of global warring and
destruction. From the East to the West, and from the North to South,
the world is exploding. From the China seas to the deserts of North
Africa, on the streets of Belfast to the alleyways of Bengasi.
Citizens turn on citizens and refugees run. Nations wave flags of
fear in the faces of enemies who could be friends and not fiends.
Differences divide, and those with the power rule in a world of
global Politriks. We are all displaced citizens, no matter where we
call home when freedom decays in front of our freeview eyes. People
become fat on doom and gloom, while others starve in ignorance and
injustice the only thing that feeds their minds is the hunger in
their stomachs and the thirst in their mouths. Theirs is a world
with ends, and for them it's....Apocalypse Now!....We can wake up to breakfast, the morning sky and tune in again tomorrow.

Someone requested a reposting of The
Bleach Boys Children Of The Wallyworld tape. Unfortunately this was
lost in the great hard drive crash of 2000 and whenever, and I'm having
trouble finding the back up, so here's some different Bleach Boys.
Its their We've Got The Bomb CD Single/mini album, which was released
in 2009, original singer Simon Kelly doesn't feature in this
incarnation of the band, but they still blast out a mighty fine
anarchic and chaotic brand of punk rock that is reminiscent of The
Dead Kennedys in more than several places. ENJOY!/DESTROY!

Annual snow report. Once again it's
that time when the white stuff comes down, and everything comes to a
halt. Everyone’s off work because it's a 'snow day'.... SNOW DAY!
Years ago people just got on with it. I don't know if the weather is
getting more 'extreme' that's debatable, but what is getting more
extreme is peoples attitude and reaction to it e.g. Time off work
and panic buying. I wouldn't have passed comment on the latest
weather conditions in Britain, if it weren't for what a Met Office
scientist had to say about the snow that has been falling recently.
Apparently it's the wrong kind of snow....too powdery. When asked
why this is the case he said it was due to a “warming in the
stratosphere” which has changed wind directions and temperatures,
in short there has been a change of atmosphere in the....atmosphere,
which is why the weather is the way it is....Snowy and cold. Well
that's nature for you, or is it? No, I don't think it is just nature,
and I'm not talking about Global Warming, I'm talking about Military
experiments, to be more specific, the Haarp Project, which in a nut
shell (I've done a few posts on Haarp and The Weather. Click the
tags at the bottom of this post if you wanna read more.) is a US
Military project that fires radio waves into the ionosphere, which
causes it to heat up, and as we have seen changes in the atmosphere
result in changes to the weather, a powerful weapon in the US
arsenal, with which the enemy can be literally washed away, and
everyone thinks it's just a natural phenomena.

The photo of the faded graffiti
accompanying this post has been on a wall near where I live for
possibly over 40 years since the last referendum about Britain’s
membership of the Common Market, or the European Economic Community
to give it its proper title. Despite the weathering and attempted
removal you can still just about make out the words EEC NO. (The
photo was taken on Jan 12th 2013) Britain joined the EEC
in 1973.

Forty years later the debate about
Britain’s membership of the European Union is being questioned, and
there is talk of a referendum, and changing Britain’s relationship
with its neighbours across the channel. We could probably survive/do
without the extra laws that have been generated since the early 90's
when the union became more about creating social policies as well as
economic ones for its member states. By 1993 the Economic had been
dropped and it became just the European Union. But what about the
economics....I mean Britain doesn't produce enough food to feed its
people, it is nearly all imported from Europe, which was ironically
a concern when Britain first joined the union in 1973. If Britain
were to opt out then all the old trade deals would become as
redundant as the workforce. Or would they? I don't think anyone
really knows what the consequences would be for Britain if it did
leave the EU, but I can't see it happening, for one The USA wont allow Britain to leave the
EU, after all Britain is still Americas trojan horse in Europe, and
when it comes to special relationships Britain always favours
America, no matter what the cost; you only have to look at the
numbers of troops killed and wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq, more
British service men than German or French have lost their lives.

An island mentality

It's about the power. Britain wants to
be a great European power, but those days of colonialism and Empires
are over. Then there's the German question? The fear of a Europe run
by the Germans, and some people find this hard to deal with
because.... isn't that what Britain fought two world wars for, to
stop Germany taking over Europe. (Their view not mine) The same
people also believe that Britain has been invaded by immigrants from
Europe who are taking our jobs and house or living off state
benefits.

Immigration has provided a workforce to
do the jobs that British workers either didn't want to do, or were to
expensive to hire.

Anti European feeling has been fostered
in the media, thanks to stories about EU laws that dictate the length
of the British sausage, and the size of our crisps, running along
side tales of how much the 'immigrants' receive in state benefits.

The increased popularity of UKIP shows
that there are more people out there who are unhappy with Britain
being in the European Union. A pound to the mark/franc says that
many of these have views and opinions that veer further to the Right
than is healthy. All this anti-Europe sentiment plays into the hands
of the extremists, and in comparison with the Labour, Conservative
and Liberal parties, UKIP are extreme, not to the extent of the BNP,
but who knows what could happen over say the next 10 years.

Is membership of the European Union a
threat to our democracy? Well....no, not unless our leaders let it
be. Which is what they have done since Britain joined, other
countries have had regular referendums over changes in European
legislation.

All the new laws from Europe have
created large and costly bureaucracies and new levels of management
to administer politicians and civil servants interpretation of the
laws from Brussels. I use the word interoperate, because when the
Smoking in the workplace legislation came from Brussels, The British
Labour government decided to ban it completely, but many European
countries left that decision to the employers, who set aside
designated smoking areas.

Using smoking in the workplace as an
example, we can see that it's one rule for one country and another
one for another country. The same goes for immigration, both Germany
and France have placed a cap on the numbers that they allow in. It's
the same with the Human Rights that see terrorists appealing against
convictions in Britain, but in France they are sent back to their
homeland, no questions asked other than that they have been found
guilty. Is it tolerance that makes Britain Great? Or is it colonial
guilt that dictates over common sense?

Having the cake and eating it! I'm
sure a total withdrawal from Europe is not on the cards, I can't see
any government putting that question before the masses of X-Factor
voters and Racist bigots. I can see them renegotiating the social
policies that are strangling a nation with bureaucratic red tape, and
haemorrhaging money through the layers of management employed to
enforce the laws, such as health and safety.

I don't want a European Super state,
especially not if Tony Blair's up for being the EU President. But I
don't want isolation, it's about inclusion, involvement, and yes
integration in a world that has changed dramatically over the last 50
years. These changes have left some confused and unable to cope with
the fears that Britain is losing its 'national identity' these people
are easy targets for the media and right wing politicians. The fact
is that Britain has changed and will continue to change, the same
goes for other EU states, and it's always the economic migrants and
the dispossessed that bare the brunt of peoples anger at being let
down as they see it by the politicians, and they may have a point,
but the answer to 'the European issue' does not lie to the far
right, nor to the far left, it lies down the middle, a balance
between the good and bad that the European Union offers to all member
states, rather than letting them eat cake!

This is the debut single by The
November Five, released in Feb 2009, and incendiary stuff it is to.
What else is there to say that I didn't when I reviewed their album a
few posts ago....oh yeah....these guys should be massive, forget yer
Biffy Giros and Muse's. It's the Nov 5 that should be filling the
stadiums and festival fields with their call to arms anthems like
Flame....

“If you're satisfied you are dead. If you are happy with
this life, go back to bed....If you're pacified you are a slave, you
might as well start digging your own grave.”This post goes out to Longy, a man with impeccable musical tastes, and a top fella.

The Reverends hail from Derby and
formed in 2010, since then they've been spreading the word with their
raucous yet tuneful brand of Punk Rock. The New Addicted is their
debut album, and what a corker; fourteen catchy and jumpy shout about
anthems.

This album is total old skool Punk
Rock. The class of 77 meet the class of 82, and everyone gobs on the
freshly polished classroom floor. There are bits that have an
Anarcho Punk vibe going on, then others with an Oi/Street Punk sound,
but nothing is contrived. The music sounds fresh and vital, the
message and the anger is totally now.

Behind the shouty and rasping vocals
drums thump and cymbals crash. Guitars fuzz and buzz, and the bass
meanders around giving a real melodic quality to the short, sharp
shock of the songs. Great crystal clear production. No self
respecting punk rocker should be without a copy of this album.
Available from the bands website.

The comfortable are numb; their cuts
don't bleed, because the heartless don't feel the pain they cause. A
privilege few born with silver spoons. Sink Estate kids born to lose
with a knife and a cold steel slash. Taking the money then running
drive by shooting, board room dealings, stock exchange swindles and
robbing bankers, tax evaders and benefit scroungers. Divide and rule
on the ship of fools, there's no care in the community if the
community doesn't care. Welfare....Well unfair! Pensioner freezing
because they can't afford the heating. Wrap up warm for a winter of
discontent and wait for the summer heat on burning streets.

Bureaucracy rules, with jobs for the
boys and girls. The middle class, middle managers, give 'em all the
middle finger.

Our leaders lie to and manipulate a
mass of people that cannot see, and don't care about thinking. Their
satisfaction has been guaranteed by a no refund consumer society,
cheap TV and new technologies, mobile phones and lap-pads. 24/7
total communication. They call this progress, when all people have
become is slaves to the machine and obese on a diet of consumer
goods. Moving forwards but going backwards IMHO, as I LOL when they
grunt their whatevers and 'reams. A nation of numb and dumbed down,
down and outs. Welcome to UK plc Where there's no future because
everyone's dreaming, and ignoring the nightmare. It's time to wake
up from passive slumber and decide which side of the bed you are
sleeping on.

If You're Satisfied You Are Dead is the
debut album by London based band The November Five. It's an album
that reflects the ever present paranoia, distrust and anger in post
millennium Britain. The eleven tracks are tense and terse, vicious
and violent, frantic and furious. It's a compelling, hypnotic
collection of catchy and anthemic songs that suck you in and spit you
out feeling alive yet wanting more. Great intelligent and emotional
lyrics, with guitars that chop and chime, keyboards that swirl and a
rhythm section that thumps, the vocals are reminiscent of 'the Two
Ians' (Curtis from Joy Division and McCulloch from Echo and The
Bunnymen) in fact it sounds like there's a whole post-punk 80's vibe
going on. I Demand is a call to arms that sounds like Joy Division
on angel dust, Good Cop Bad Cop sounds like a street fight between
The Godfathers and Primal Scream. While Control sounds like Echo And
The Bunnymen trading tunes with The Folk Devils. There are other
bits that sound like long lost 90's bands Humanzi and Whipping Boy.
The November Five have one boot in the past and another in the
present, which makes it kickin' stuff! Simple no frills attached
Rock'n'Roll that feeds the emotions. Beautiful, brilliant, exciting
and life affirming stuff! Details of how to get a copy are on their facebook page.

Another re-post this time from late 70's early 80's Edinburgh
Post-Punk Glam Romantics the Scars, or just Scars, to give them their
proper name. During the brief time they were together they released
3 singles and 1 album, recorded a couple of Peel Sessions. and toured with Comsat Angels, Josef K and The Church.This
download is like it says on the tin; a collection of sessions, demos
and live stuff. Enjoy, because you don't get the like of bands like
the Scars these days, and when you do they lack the authenticity of
the real thing.

This re-posting should have been done a
couple of months ago as a footnote to a gig review of the scumbags at
Club 85 in Hichin, but due to un foreseen circumstances at the
eleventh hour I wasn't able to get along to it. Then I was gonna
just post the music with a bit of writing, but found it hard to be
objective about it, as primarily the band are friends that I've known
for as many years as I can't remember. I started to write about some
recollections of gigs etc back in the day, but then stopped
because....now is the day!

The blurgh below and the lean, mean and
moody photo have been blatantly blagged from the bands Last FM page:

Ska-punksters
and arch exponents of tuneful 90s agit-pop to a wider world, Scum of
Toytown are a response to the boredom and disaffection of London
overspill life in Stevenage, UK. Rooted in the North London punk
scene of the 70s and 80s, the main members met and began playing
together in the late 80s. Gravitating towards the lively free
festival and squat scene, SOTT played numerous dates in the UK with
bands like RDF, Back to the Planet, Citizen Fish, Senser, 25th of
May, Blaggers ITA, Dub War, Bender, The Cowboy Killers and
AOS3. Three highly successful tours were organised on the
central European squat scene through the influential Kopi collective
in Berlin.

Tracks were released on a number of compilations, a DIY
7” EP, and an outstanding album, ‘Strike’, recorded at Southern
Studios in Wood Green with the help of the Newport based Words of
Warning label. Generous reviews were received for their recorded
music in the underground and mainstream music press. Several tracks
received national radio airplay, including an airing of the iconic
‘Jackboot Crusade’ by the late John Peel and, most recently, Tom
Ravenscroft played ‘Sink or Swim’ on BBC 6 Music in November
2010. SOTT stopped playing together around 1997. However, in 2010
events brought them back together and the band are currently working
on a host of new songs, with recording and some selected live shows
in the pipeline.

Shows have been played, songs have been recorded, there's footage on
YouTube and stuff to listen to on the bands website. 2013 could be
the year that the scum rises to the surface! Until then lets rewind
a few years to a live set @ Bowes Lyon House, Stevenage in 1992,
their first release, the mighty Fight Truth Decay Tape and here's a
copy of their Destruction Of Both Houses Of Parliament EP, plus some
bonus remixes.

In the beginning is the scream. We scream.

"When we write or when we read, it is easy to forget that the beginning is not the word, but the scream. Faced with the mutilation of human lives by capitalism, a scream of sadness, a scream of horror, a scream of anger, a scream of refusal: NO." - John Holloway

The Wall

"There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared; an adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary. But the idea was real.........Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on." -Ursula Le Guin (In The Dispossessed)

‘Excuse me,’ they cry, ‘you can’t fight it; twice two is four! Nature doesn’t ask you about it; she’s not concerned with your wishes or with whether you like her laws or not. You must take her as she is, and consequently all her results as well. I mean to say, a wall is a wall, etc. But good God! What have the laws of nature and arithmetic to do with me, when for some reason I don’t like those laws or twice two? Naturally I shan’t break through the wall with my head, if I’m really not strong enough, but I wont be reconciled to it simply because it’s a stone wall and I haven’t enough strength to break it down. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (In Notes From Underground)

Revolution is alive'n'kicking in 2007 Britain, courtesy of 'crackpot Cornish extremists' AKA The Cornish National Liberation Army who are taking their fight to the owners of second homes who come from out of the county. Dunno 'bout that gun though, only damage it looks like it could do is to themselves.

'I myself believe, perhaps on insufficient grounds, that the common man will win his fight sooner or later, but I want it to be sooner and not later - some time within the next hundred years, say and not some time within the nest ten thousand years.' - George Orwell (Homage to Catalonia,1938)

The powers that have for centuries been engaged in enslaving the masses have made a thorough study of their psychology. They know that the people at large are like children whose despair, sorrow and tears can be turned into joy with a little toy. And the more gorgeously the toy is dressed, the louder the colors, the more it will appeal to the million-headed child. - Emma Goldman (Anarchism and Other Essays)

'It was not desirable that the proles should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working-hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances.' - George Orwell (1984)

'Like Anthony, she wished at times that she had not been presented with this sudden freedom of choice. It had felt safer, when they had been blinkered by sickening anxiety, walking the narrow path, unable to risk a glance to right or left. Now, they stood in a flat and featureless plain, older, wiser but somehow diminished.' - Margaret Drabble (Ice Age)

'The formula works. He stumbled on the first and last truth about the leisure society, and perhaps all societies. Crime and creativity go together, and always have done. The greater the sense of crime, the greater civic awareness and richer the civilisation. Nothing else binds a community together. It's a strange paradox.' - J.G Ballard (in Cocaine Nights)

The proletarian dictatorship...has today grown into a frightful despotism and a new imperialism, which lags behind the tyranny of Fascist states in nothing. - Rudolf Rocker(1973)

'Brothers and SistersI wanna see a sea of hands out there.Let me see a sea of hands.I want everybody to kick up some noise.I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothersI wanna hear a little revolution.Brothers and sisters, the time has comeFor each and every one of you to decideWhether you are gonna be the problem,Or whether you are gonna be the solution.You must choose, brothers, you must choose.It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.Five seconds to realize that it's time to move.It's time to get down with it.Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,Are you ready to testify?Are you ready?I GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL, THE MC5 !!!!'
